Slippery slope argument

An informal fallacy constituted by arguing that a series of increasingly unpalatable event swill follow from an initial course of action, resulting in a circumstance no one would want.This result is then used as a reason not to take the first “step.” The error occurs when at lea stone of the events in the series is unlikely to occur. A version of the slippery slope fallacy occurs when arguing by degrees, rather than events, as when one argues that increasing the speed limit from 55 mph to 65 mph will result in a legal speed limit of 100 mph.
